Sony 40X2000, 40W2000, Panasonic PX70 or PZ70

[admin_exported]

I was initially looking at buying a KDL40W2000, but have also been tempted by the Panasonic PX70 or a PZ70. I can't make head nor tail of the stats, as initially thought pixels mattered, apparently not necessarily the case , and then I looked at higher contrast ratio's, which apparently can also be misleading. In addition I have not actually found any shops which stocks all models (especially PZ70) and have been unable to view side by side and with a high def feed. I have now been offered an ex-display KDL40X2000 for the £900 and can't decide which to go for. Sound doesn't matter, as I have a surround sound sytem, and I will be using a PS3 as the DVD source.

Can anyone recommend which to go for?

The sonys are quite old now i believe the w2000 is over a year old which is now replaced with the 3000 model ! Go for a panasonic there very good and i just got the pz70 like lots of others on here !

40X2000 for £900?????!!!!!!!!???????

As long as its in good condition that is an absolute bargain and I'd yank their arm off if I were you. We sold our last ones of these for about £1500. Its a great TV with both SD and HD material and, minus a couple of refinements such as the new 10-bit panel, its largely the same as the new W3000 (NOT the X3000/3500 which has a newer processor) which retails for much more. That 10-bit panel doesn't make a huge difference. Its the EX version of the Bravia Engine which is the selling point because it works so efficiently and makes the most of any source you use.

PS The X2000 is far superior to the W2000.
